Leonine Yakari - The feature film

Yakari has a dream: he wants to ride Little Thunder one day, the wild horse that has never been tamed by any Sioux. When the hunters from his tribe capture a herd of mustangs, Little Thunder escapes with a powerful leap. Yakari follows the young horse and frees it when it gets its hoof stuck under a rock. For this brave act, Great Eagle, Yakari's totem animal, grants him the gift of speaking with animals. In search of Little Thunder, Yakari finds himself in a raging river. He clings to a log but still tumbles down a waterfall and is swept downstream, far away from his home. Now it is Yakari who needs Little Thunder's help: together they embark on the long and adventurous journey back through the mountains, encountering many different animals along the way.
